Ghanaian singer and global sensation Moliy says she is choosing to embrace the love of Ghanaians, regardless of whether it is fully returned.

Speaking about her relationship with her home country, the singer described it as complex but deeply rooted in affection and commitment, stressing that she remains firmly connected to Ghana no matter how it is perceived.

She explained that her bond with Ghanaians goes beyond approval or validation, adding that she has made a personal decision to stand with them through every phase of her journey.

“Me and Ghana, we have a very interesting relationship. I love them and hopefully they love me back. Whether or not they choose to love me, I am claiming their love, you know what I’m saying. It’s do or die, we’re in this together,” Moliy said.

Burna Boy has also openly expressed his affection for Ghana, revealing that he owns a house in the country and visits as frequently as he can.

Speaking in a recent interview on The Breakfast Club radio show in New York City, the Grammy-winning Nigerian artiste shared his admiration for Ghana while reacting to one of the hosts’ decision to acquire property there.

During the conversation, Charlamagne tha God disclosed that he recently purchased a beachfront home in Ghana. When Burna Boy asked if the property was located at Labadi, Charlamagne clarified that it is situated in East Legon.

Burna Boy praised the move, describing it as a wise decision and reiterating his personal connection to the country.

“Bro that’s the best decision you have ever made,” the singer said.

“Trust me, trust me, Ghana is a beautiful place. You’re in a beautiful place man… Cos for me personally that’s my go to place for refuge,” he added.

Away from their love for Ghana, Moliy chided netizens for habitually body-shaming her

In a post shared on July 18, she sarcastically quizzed such netizens if they had been able to pay their utility.

"Hope all of you spending your day talking about my body again got rent and due bills ready. We’re in the middle of the month, just a reminder, much love."

She has expressed her contentment with remaining independent of any record label.

Moliy cited record labels' restraints on her creativity, issues of trust, as well as hearsay about artists and the challenges that come with being signed to a label.

Her remarks were in response to a feature of discussion about her career as an independent artiste since her debut in 2020.

For the sake of creative freedom Moliy says she doesn't want to be a part of any record label.

“Yeah. I’ve always been kind of hesitant to be a label artist because I’ve just heard so many stories.I don’t just wanna be a name on a list. Music is very personal to me.

“So, I think if I did get locked in with a label, I hope it’s something that could be a real, long-lasting, organic relationship.

“The most freeing part is just getting to do what I want creatively without someone telling me what to do. I don’t like being told what to do," she shared during an interview on July 7 with Revolt TV.

She said, "I always feel like the people I work with, I want to trust them. I want it to feel organic".

Though she has seen significant success with her songs hitting millions on boards in the UK and other streaming platforms, her independent journey hasn't been without challenges.

She struggled with getting her music distributed effectively without the backing of a record label; she had to navigate distribution hurdles on her own.

“I realized at some point, I was actively seeking [distribution]. I hadn’t released music for a whole year in 2024, and me and my manager were trying to get a [distribution deal] so I could put out music.

The conversations were sounding positive, but nothing was actually happening. I remember thinking, I still wanna move. I don’t wanna be stagnant,’” she said.

It was at this point that she realised that "also, if you’re not pushing yourself, if you’re not putting your foot on the gas, no one is gonna do it for you. That’s what I love the most”

Meanwhile, her journey as an independent artiste has proven quite successful with the awards she's won and success of her releases over the years.

In June 2022, she was named Spotify EQUAL Africa Ambassador. She also featured on MTV Base, 3Music TV, and Revolt TV and was later nominated for Ghana Music Awards and honored as BET Amplified Artist of the Month.
